The Mysterious Holes

Hmm. I think it was around here. Oh, I found it! Look, Pingfong. Do you remember what happened? Of course I do! There were mysterious holes all over Wonderville, and our friends fell into them. We were curious where the holes came from and wanted to find out so nobody got hurt again. We looked inside the holes to learn more about them and asked a hole expert for help. Are you curious about who created the mysterious holes? Let's go see! What is this? Whoa! Rachel, are you okay? Let's take a look at your foot. Thank you, Jenny. Oh, there's Jenny! Jenny! Careful! We have to do something. What? There are strange holes in the village? Yeah, and they're making our friends fall and get hurt. Hmm. In that case, we must take action. No problem is too big for Wonderstar! Or too small! First, a wardrobe change! Hoi Poi, Pinkfong! Whoa! What kind of hole is this? Maybe Baker dug it. Baker digs tunnels underground, remember? Doubt it. The hole seems too small for Baker. I wonder when it first appeared. When I started to practice my dance, it wasn't there. But then suddenly, pop! It was! Hmm. How very strange. Oh, I just remembered. When I fell into the hole, I heard a sound coming from inside it. A sound? What kind of sound? Um, I could barely hear. Sort of a... S-s-sound? No, no, no. Thump-thump sound? Actually, I'm not sure. Oh, this is making me bananas. I wish I could fit down there. Pinkfong, do you have shrinking powers? Of course! I haven't tried it yet, but let's give it a whirl! Hoi Poi, Pinkfong! Wow! They're as tiny as my toe! Be careful, guys! Okie dokie! Ready to explore? Come back safely, Wonderstuff! I can't see. Someone definitely dug this for a reason. Huh? The tunnel splits in two. Which one do we take? This one! Let's go this way! Oh! Pinkfong has a good sense of direction. Come on! I can't hold back my curiosity! Go, go! To where to find you, find you! Mystery, mystery! I really want to know the truth! Truth! Mystery, mystery! I'm getting more and more curious! Curious! Mystery, mystery! I really want to know who you are! Mystery, mystery! I'm gonna find you! I'll find you in the end! Mystery! Hold on. Weren't we just here a minute ago? Oh, you're right. We were. We... we were? Pinkfong, what happened? To be honest, I have a terrible sense of direction. What? Then why do you take the lead? Well, I get a weird vibe from that area. Wow! What are... Whoa! This must be where giants hang out! I'm sure I saw this trowel and pickaxe before. Baker! They belong to Baker! Baker? Yeah! They're tools that Baker uses to dig underground tunnels! That means Baker is the culprit! Shh! Quiet! What's the matter? Shh! Listen! Oh! You heard that, right? The sound came from over there! The sound is getting louder! If we turn this corner, I think we'll find the hole digger! All right! One, two, three! Ha-ha! Breathe, culprit! What's that? It's... a baby cicada? Use your powers! Do something! Oh, yeah! My powers! Hoi Poi Pinkfong! Something's wrong! Kiyo must be tired from shining its light all this time! Oh, no! What do we do now? Does this mean you can't use your powers? I can, but... I have to wait a bit. Let's hope we don't get caught till then. Please! Go somewhere else, I beg you! Where did I leave my pickaxe? It's Baker! Baker! Bus! How on earth did you guys... Baker! Hurry! Or else we're going to get eaten by the baby cicada! Baby cicada? You all are so funny! Baby cicadas only eat tree sap. It looks like it chased after you because it needed your help. It must be ready to go above ground now. So, it's going to become an adult cicada? Wow! Take care, baby cicada! Good luck becoming an adult! So, all these holes were made by baby cicadas? Yup! The baby or nymph cicadas stay underground until they're ready to become full-fledged adult cicadas. That's right. I read about that in a book. I was worried that you guys would trip and get hurt, so I've been busy plugging up the holes. But, I guess I missed this spot. We had no idea. That means, the cave, thanks to you, the secret of the mysterious holes has been revealed! Good work, Wonderstar! Wrench-it Badge! The truth of the mysterious holes has been revealed. Would the baby cicada be able to sprout its wings to become an adult? Cicada!
